You talk about offload, yet I don't see any offload code in this RFC.
It's pure sw implementation.
But speaking about offload, how exactly do you plan to offload this
Jamal? AFAIK there is some HW-specific compiler magic needed to generate
HW acceptable blob. How exactly do you plan to deliver it to the driver?
If HW offload offload is the motivation for this RFC work and we cannot
pass the TC in kernel objects to drivers, I fail to see why exactly do
you need the SW implementation...
